It looks like GNU Gnash is not available yet. It's waiting for you to
package it! :-)
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Defining-Packages.html#Defining-Packages
When you say "flashplayer", are you referring to Adobe Flash Player [1]?
If so, it will probably not be packaged in Guix, since the license under
which it is distributed appears to be a non-free license [2]. (For
example, that license says things like "You may install and Use one copy
of the Software on your Compatible Computer," and "This license does not
grant you the right to sublicense or distribute the Software".)

If we can package Adobe Flash Player, can we package a installer-helper, like: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/flashplugin-nonfree

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/flashplugin-nonfree is just a command writen with shell script, user can use this command to download Adobe Flash Player and install it, it seem to be a free script :-)

The FSDG (as previously quoted by Chris) state:
"A free system distribution must not steer users towards obtaining
any nonfree information for practical use, or encourage them to do
so. The system should have no repositories for nonfree software and
no specific recipes for installation of particular nonfree
programs."
Providing a tool with the sole purpose of installing proprietory
software would certainly fall under “steer users towards obtaining […]
nonfree” software.

Guix (and GuixSD) adheres to the Free System Distribution Guidelines
[1], which states:
"A free system distribution must not steer users towards obtaining any
nonfree information for practical use, or encourage them to do so. The
system should have no repositories for nonfree software and no specific
recipes for installation of particular nonfree programs."
As I understand it, the purpose of that installer-helper is solely to
aid in the installation of Adobe Flash Player, which is not free
software. It has no other use. Therefore, we will not package it.
[1] https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html
On the other hand, GNU Gnash IS free software, so I'm sure a patch to
add it would be welcome!

Just for your information: even if flash or the installer-helper
can't be included in Guix itself because of the free software
distribution guidelines, if someone writes a package description for
the installer-helper (or flash itself), anyone who's interested can
put that package description in their GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH. GNU Guix
itself will just not include/recommend/link to such non-free 3rd
party packages.

If you just want to watch a video, there are plenty of free software out
there for downloading videos like youtube-dl
<https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl> and you-get
<https://github.com/soimort/you-get>.
In particular, you-get supports a lot of Chinese video-sharing sites
like bilibili and acfun.
If you want, I can send a patch to add you-get to guix.

Flash is a dead-end technology. I suggest not bothering with it any longer.
